Nextcloud package

Hello,

there seems to be a problem with the Nextcloud package, or rather, there's been a change in the installer.
If an older version of Nextcloud is installed (for example, 3.0.2), the 3.0.3 package returns an error.

When manually installing version 3.0.3, a message "An uninstallation is already in progress" appears, and the installation proceeds.
I haven't found any way to prevent this behavior. Therefore, perhaps the package should include a step to uninstall the package before installation.

Sincerely.

Good morning,

Following the update to 3.1.3, I just realized that the skipUpdateCheck It must have evolved.
Here's the key that works for me:

Code: Select all

#registry_setstring(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Nextcloud\\Nextcloud", 'skipUpdateCheck', 1, type=REG_DWORD)
registry_setstring(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Nextcloud GmbH\\Nextcloud", 'skipUpdateCheck', 1, type=REG_DWORD)

Good morning,

To avoid automatic updates, the key has indeed changed according to the documentation and the tests carried out.
However, the use of the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Nextcloud\Nextcloud can be manually overridden by the user with HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
To prevent automatic updates and disallow manual overrides:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Nextcloud GmbH\Nextcloud
Sincerely.
